Abstract:

Effect of Ti (C,N) based cermets granule on the microstructure, mechanical properties, sintering and fracture behavior of Ti (C,N) based cermets was investigated. Results show that the Ti (C,N) based cermets granules distribute in the matrix homogeneously. A nanoindentation study was performed on hard phase and binder phase in the matrix and granule. With the increase of granules content, sintering properties is worse. With the increase of granules content, transverse rupture strength (TRS) and relative density decrease gradually, while the hardness has an opposite trend. The fracture toughness increases firstly with increasing granule, and then decreases with the further increase of granules. Higher fracture toughness of the cermets is mainly owing to the crack branch and higher fracture energy of coarse granule.
